| Summary: | This study aimed at developing an intergenerational curriculum module based on skill
sharing among the older generation and secondary school students. The module
development was targeted at demonstrating how the module can be used in efforts to
breach the gap between the generations and to give an opportunity to the older
generation to make a meaningful contribution through the intergenerational program.
This study used the Design and Development Research approach first introduced by
Richey dan Klein (2007) that consists of three phases. The first phase involved needs
analysis using the questionnaire administered on 618 senior citizens to identify their
needs in building the intergenerational curriculum module. The second phase used the
Fuzzy Delphi approach to develop a module based on the views and consensus of a 21-
member panel of experts. The threshold value (d) was calculated to verify the consensus
of experts toward all the questionnaire items. Three experts were selected to revise the
prototype module. The third phase was the module usability evaluation using semi
structured interviews with 10 students and seven senior citizens. Semi structured
interviews were carried out on the sample to evaluate the usability of the
intergenerational curriculum module. Findings from the first phase show that the
majority of senior citizens had confidence and were willing to share their time and skills
with the secondary school students. This shows that there exists a need for developing
an intergenerational curriculum module based on skills for senior citizens and students.
Findings from the second phase resulted in development of the module made up of the
design, main module components, and 30 activities that need to be put into the
intergenerational curriculum module. Three classifications of intergenerational programs were suggested (elders serve the youth, shared program and reciprocal
mutual learning). The third phase findings show that the sample was satisfied with the
intergenerational activities, duration and location afforded by the module. The third
phase findings also show that the intergenerational curriculum module had four main
strengths: the module gave opportunity and space for students and senior citizens to
interact and communicate, share their skills, give opportunities for students to help the
aged and generate mutual respect and make the aged feel needed. The intergenerational
curriculum module based on skill sharing produced by this study can be used as a
guideline for the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Women, Family and
Community Development, Senior Citizen Associations, and selected agencies when
carrying out intergenerational programs in future. |
